[quote=Anonymous]To OP: it doesn't sound like an eating disorder at all. just teenager, young eater. The less you make out of all this the better. Offer new/different foods, and eventually, your SS will probably branch out.  I was a very picky eater as a kid and my parents made a big deal out of it, and that made it so much worse. I wasn't trying to be difficult, I just couldn't stand a lot of the foods they offered. It's important to remember that we are all different and so are our palates and tastes. One thing I would add for some of the other posters posting about kids not wanting to mix foods together. I remember being this way. I grew out of it, it just took time. I was also very sensitive to the texture of foods. I couldn't articulate this as a child, and no one asked. But when I was in my mid-20s I remember talking to a guy who was very similar, and it was reassuring. So keep texture in mind for some of your picky eaters--ie apricots vs orange vs apple vs pomegranate. If you try to approach this with your picky eater as a partner in identifying what the problem is, you may be able to problem solve some.  hope this helps.[/quote]
